A LIFT FOR TODAY I have set the Lord always before me.—Psalms 16:8. God is first and last. Until we have found God and been found by Him, we begin at no beginning and work ° Give 6 us a keener sense of Thy Love and Mercy, 0 God, that our lives may be truly consecrated to Thee. Disgrace To Somebody Elsewhere in this issue of The Herald will be seen a picture and story about the removal of the remains of Burton Walker Hathaway and members of his family from what is known as the old Methodist cemetery on Oakum Street to a more desirable resting place in Beav er Hill Cemetery. Mr. Hathaway was buried 96 years ago and in the in tervening years the cemetery has been neglected and in some cases apparently forgotten altogether, so that at present it is little less than a disgrace to the Methodist Church and the town as a whole. It isn’t unusual to see the cemetery grown up in weeds, so that it has more the appearance of a country field or swamp and serves as a depository for beer cans, whiskey bottles and other kinds of refuse unbecoming to a ceme tery. It is also the opinion of some people that buildings now stand on the cemetery property which, if true, is also ill-becoming for a cemetery. In defense of the Methodist Church, the writer knows that some few years ago a considerable amount of time was spent in the Register of Deeds office in an effort to find a deed to the property, but so far as is known little light was shed on the matter at that time. At any rate, with the removal of the Hathaway bodies, possibly other relatives of those buried on the plot might become interested in removing their ancestors from the disgraceful site. In the meantime some steps should be taken to determine who holds legal title to the plot of ground and either remove the bodies to a more desir able place or clean up the area, giving it more the ap pearance of a cemetery than a trash pile. Voters Acted Wisely In the opinion of The Herald North Carolina voters acted wisely in voting overwhelmingly in favor of a $72,- 000,000 bond issue for the betterment of schools and mental institutions in the State. Conditions in Chowan County only reflect general conditions throughout the State, so that the election was very one-sided to sell the bonds. In Chowan, additions are needed to the schools to care for children and this condition will most assuredly become more acute as time goes on, and with the bond issue passed, the coun ty will not be obliged to shoulder the entire financial burden. Chowan, too, has a case which reflects conditions among mental institutions in the State. Ever since Feb ruary efforts have been made to place an old colored woman in a mental institution, and only Tuesday of this week was she admitted, and then only upon condition that she is not crowded out by younger patients. Prior to Tuesday it was necessary to confine the woman in the Chowan County jail because no room was available in a State institution, a condition which is distinctly not a credit to the State. Similar conditions prevail in the en tire State. The money is needed for schools and mental institu tions, so that North Carolina citizens voted wisely in Saturday’s election in a project which will redound to the \ betterment and advancement of the State as a whole.

"YOUR JOHN DEERE DEALER" EDENTON 0 THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. N. G. THURSDAY OCTOBER 8. 1988. I Heard & Seen By “Buff” ■" > .wjiißii fin 'mM I Edenton has a cover girl in the person of Mrs. Lena Leary, Chowan County’s Assistant Clerk of Court. On the front page of the current issue of Popular Govern ment Magazine, Mrs. Leary is pictured with a group of assistant and deputy clerks of Superior Court who at tended the annual conference held August 7 and 8 at Chapel Hill by the Institute of Government. Pretty good picture of her, too. There are some dangerous ditches in Edenton and in one case recently gave reason for gambling. Out Jim bo’s Jumbos way the other day a large truck was travel ing on Badham road and at the above peanut products concern the boys wagered bets as to whether or not the truck would go into the ditch. Well, in this particular case it didn’t, but some have gone into the ditch. o The new press box at Hicks Field is a splendid place from which to watch the football games. Not only is a good view of the game provided, but it also will provide shelter when weather is cold or rainy. Joe Webb, Jr., has been a “customer” in the press box and when asked Friday night what paper he represents he said “The Yeo pim Daily.” Then in Bus Wozelka we have a very ac curate announcer with an eagle eye. On Friday night when a first down was narrowly missed, Bus announced it was fourth down and one and three-quarter inches to go. Izzy Campen, too, has come to the rescue to make the press box worthwhile. By his ingenuity he rigged up a large clock similar to college stadium style, togeth er with a scoreboard so spectators know the score. All he needs to do now is rig up a coffee pot so the boys can sip a cup of coffee while watching games these cool football nights. Anyway, where’s a nicer football field than the one in Edenton for a town this size ? o The result of Saturday’s election on the bond issue fiearly shows that Chowan County voters and voters throughout the State evidently realize that more and larger schools are needed to properly educate our chil dren. Conditions in Chowan County schools are already crowded and if you don’t believe conditions will become more acute, just glance over the list of Chowan Hospital patients in this issue, which shows that 14 babies were born in a week’s time. And that’s not all, for according to the looks of things, there’s a lot more on the way. o I've just got to straighten up my desk again. Last week Logan Elliott sent in a cigar which was placed on my desk and not until after The Herald came out was I told about it. Anyway, Logan is the daddy of another son, bom in Chowan Hospital September 28. Some facts about it are that the youngster arrived exactly on the same day his brother put in an appearance two years ago. The first boy weighed six pounds and six ounces, while the latest addition to the family weighed seven pounds and three ounces, a difference of one pound. Maybe Logan has some Scotch blood in him, for now he can have birthday parties on the same day for two youngsters—and that’s saving something. o One of my little Dunford neighbors was standing on the curb Tuesday afternoon holding a fishing line in the street. Nope, she didn’t catch anything, but at that she was about as well off as some fishermen who buy bait, get a boat and go a long way to hold a fishing line in the water instead of the street. Os course, we don’t hear much about those fishing trips. o “The Battle of the Century” will take place on Hicks Field Friday night when Coach Ben Perry’s Edenton Aces will meet their arch rival, the Elizabeth City Yel low Jackets. The Jackets have a decided edge on games won since the gridiron feud began in 1926, but the Aces will do their best to turn in a win. The crack Elizabeth City Band will be on hand, as well as the Edenton Band, so that the largest crowd of the season is expected to watch the football scrap. Let’s all turn out and support the Aces. o Lonnie Harrell, president of the Chowan Farm Bur eau, says 121 members have enrolled thus far, which is far less than should be members. Are you one of the ! 121 who have joined. In numbers the organizations will have more influence and strength. ) LEGAL NOTICE^ North Carolina .
